Trade Regulation - As introduced, enacts the "Stop Rent Rigging Act." - Amends TCA Title 47 and Title 66.

HB 2234, the "Stop Rent Rigging Act," prohibits landlords and software providers from using technology to coordinate rental prices across multiple properties. It bans facilitating agreements where landlords avoid competing on rent or using algorithmic tools that collect and analyze pricing data from two or more landlords (who aren’t subsidiaries) to recommend rents or lease terms. The law directly affects residential property owners/managers and companies offering data analytics services that enable coordinated pricing. Violations face penalties matching existing antitrust laws, and the bill takes effect July 1, 2026.
